Contexte
A leading wood importer and manufacturer in Reunion Island, operating since 1989, specializes in the selection, transformation, and B2B commercialization of wood products. To modernize their operations, they initiated a digital transformation project centered around a new CRM platform to simplify client communications and improve field sales efficiency.
Défis
The client needed to eliminate information silos to facilitate smoother exchanges with their customer base. A significant secondary challenge was the lack of an organized system for their sales representatives on the road. They needed a solution to geographically structure sales tours and track client visit frequencies efficiently to ensure no sales opportunities were missed.
